Oddly enough, I'm not really too enthused about this bike, the amount of bits being changed on it kind of reduces it's true value historically to me. It's a bit like Trigger's broom, (the one from only fools and horses, not our Trig) had 15 new handles and 17 new heads, but to him was the same broom he started with years before!

You leave my NOS broom out of it, it is a good original example for any road sweeper ;D ;D

I can see the different cam and alternator covers and gear shaft end cover, the billet crank, though invisible is something special.

yes trigger's broom has a lot to answer for lol.
as with all restored bikes where does it start and where does it end.
i bought a mint condition cb750 in 1990's completely made up of nos parts except frame and engine and they was resprayed and rebuilt i put 3000 miles on this bike before i decided to put it away for prosperity.since then i have added a brand new exhaust system a nos tank i scratched the old one replaced the wrong front mudguard with a new wrong one (i could have bought a correct copy from vietnam but decicded to stick with honda parts)only last year i replaced the chain guard with the correct short one .so do i have a new bike or still the old broom your guess is as good as mine lol
i was in stafford a few years ago now and a unrestored brough ss100 sold for £157,000 and i think this has been the trend for quite a few years now ,although im a firm believer that all that glitters is gold
so i wouldnt expect this bike as rare as it is , to be as valuable as vic worlds prototype , i think its been sold at the wrong market place USA has always been the big market ;) so its the same old broom to me aswell trigg
